Commands using sort (800)
-
Count the occurences of the word 'Berlekamp' in the DJVU files that are in the current directory, printing file names from the one having the least to the most occurences.
0find ./ -iname "*.djvu" -execdir perl -e '@s=`djvutxt \"$ARGV[0]\"\|grep -c Berlekamp`; chomp @s; print $s[0]; print " $ARGV[0]\n"' '{}' \;|sort -n -
Get a list of all the unique hostnames from the apache configuration files. Handy to see what sites are running on a server.
0cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/* | egrep 'ServerAlias|ServerName' | tr -s " " | sed 's/^[ ]//g' | uniq | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | sed 's/www.//g' | sort | uniq -
0grep ^lease /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | sort -t . -k 1,1n -k 2,2n -k 3,3n -k 4,4n | uniq

I created this command to give me a quick overview of how many file types a directory, and all its subdirectories, contains. It works based off file extension, rather than file(1)'s magic output, because it ended up being more accurate and less confusing. Files that don't have an ext (README) are generally not important for me to want to count, but you're free to customize this fit your needs. Show Sample Output
0printf "\n%25s%10sTOTAL\n" 'FILE TYPE' ' '; for ext in $(find . -iname \*.* | egrep -o '\.[^[:space:].]+$' | egrep -v '\.svn*' | sort -f | uniq -i); do count=$(find . -iname \*$ext | wc -l); printf "%25s%10s%d\n" $ext ' ' $count; done -
find -exec is evil since it launches a process for each file. You get the total as a bonus. Also, without -n sort will sort by lexical order (that is 9 after 10).
0find . \( -iname '*.[ch]' -o -iname '*.php' -o -iname '*.pl' \) | xargs wc -l | sort -n -
If you use HISTTIMEFORMAT environment e.g. timestamping typed commands, $(echo "1 2 $HISTTIMEFORMAT" | wc -w) gives the number of columns that containing non-command parts per lines. It should universify this command. Show Sample Output
0history | awk '{a[$'$(echo "1 2 $HISTTIMEFORMAT" | wc -w)']++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head -
Find the source file which contains most number of lines in your workspace :) Show Sample Output
0find -name "*.<suffix>" -exec wc -l "{}" \; | sort -n | tail -
the comm utility (opposite of diff) show commonalities in files (in this case strings) Show Sample Output
0Array1=( "one" "two" "three" "four" "five" );Array2=( "four" "five" "six" "seven" );savedIFS="${IFS}";IFS=$'\n';Array3=($(comm -12 <(echo "${Array1[*]}" |sort -u) <(echo "${Array2[*]}" | sort -u)));IFS=$savedIFS -
sudo is optional, but to find out about all files, it is nice, or else run as superuser, ie: su -c 'du -sm * | sort -n' Show Sample Output
0sudo du -sm * | sort -n -
0tr A-Z a-z | tr -d 0-9\[\],\*-.?\:\"\(\)#\;\<\>\@ | tr ' /_' '\n' | sort | uniq -c
-
Gives the same results as the command by putnamhill using nine less characters.
0tr -cs A-Za-z '\n' | sort | uniq -ci -
0history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"}{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
-
Your version works fine except for someone who's interested in commands 'sudo' was prefixed to i.e. in your command, use of sudo appears as number of times sudo was used. Slight variation in my command peeks into what commands sudo was used for and counts the command (ignores 'sudo')
0history | awk '{print $2,$3}' | sed s/sudo// | awk '{print $1}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"}{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr -
This command finds all of the functions defined in any shell script you specify including .bashrc
0functions(){ read -p "File name> "; sort -d $REPLY | grep "(){" | sed -e 's/(){//g' | less; } -
0users | xargs -n1 echo | sort | uniq -c
-
Where COMMAND is the process(es) name. I prefer to get all states but you may add ESTABLISHED in the grep regex.
lsof -c apache2 | egrep -o 'TCP.*ESTABLISHED.*$'-nP flags are optional and UDP is irrelevant for established connections Similar but using the process id:lsof -nP -p PID | egrep -o '(TCP|UDP).*$'Show Sample Output0lsof -nP -c COMMAND | egrep -o '(TCP|UDP).*$' | sort -u -
"sort_csn" is a function to sort a comma separated list of numbers. Define the the function with this: sort_csn () { echo "${1}" | sed -e "s/,/\n/g"| sort -nu | awk '{printf("%s,",$0)} END {printf("\n")}' | sed -e "s/,$//"; } Use the function like this: sort_csn 443,22,80,8200,1533,21,1723,1352,25 21,22,25,80,443,1352,1533,1723,8200 One example where this is useful is when port scanning with nmap and getting a list of open ports in random order. If you use Nessus, you may need to create a scan policy for that set of specific ports and it is clearer to read with the port numbers in ascending order (left to right). Caveat: no spaces in the comma separated list (just number1,number2,number3,etc). A variation of this to sort a comma separated list of strings: sort_css () { echo "${1}" | sed -e "s/,/\n/g"| sort -u | awk '{printf("%s,",$0)} END {printf("\n")}' | sed -e "s/,$//"; } usage: sort_css apples,pears,grapes,melons,oranges apples,grapes,melons,oranges,pears Show Sample Output
0sort_csn () { echo "${1}" | sed -e "s/,/\n/g"| sort -nu | awk '{printf("%s,",$0)} END {printf("\n")}' | sed -e "s/,$//"; } -
Will work with filenames with spaces inside. Will not break in case of someone making directory that matches *.pm. And sorts from largest. Where largest is file size, not line count.
0find . -type f -name '*.pm' -printf '%6s %p\n' | sort -nr | head -n 50 -
this command will install the packages which provides the libraries you need to link with, e.g. when you compile something needs opengl libraries: gcc -o testgl testgl.c -lGLEW -lGL -lGLU -lglut you can use `/usr/lib/libGLEW.so /usr/lib/libGL.so /usr/lib/libGLU.so /usr/lib/libglut.so'
0yum whatprovides /usr/lib/libXX1.so /usr/lib/libXX2.so | grep fc | sed 's/^\(.*\)-[0-9.]*-.*$/\1/' | sort | uniq | xargs yum -y install -
Pros: the format is very simple, there is no need to show every columns, and full command with args the first column is memory consumption % the second column is pid the third is just the command (without full arguments, most application's arguments are too long) You can decide which application to kill then. Show Sample Output
0ps -eo pmem,pid,comm --no-headers | sort -k1 -rn | head -10 -
-n is very important, otherwise it's string comparison Show Sample Output
0sort -t"," -n -k5 file.csv # according to the 5th field NUMERICALLY!! -
0nohup df -k | sort -rn 12
-
Use ps instead of top. But do not use BSD options at all, they are confusing. Use "s=" or "state=" to show consice process statuses. Show Sample Output
0ps -eo stat= | sort | uniq -c | sort -n -
Credit goes to brun65i but he posted it as a comment instead as an alternative. I hadn't noticed the -h option on sort before and this seems like the cleanest alternative. Thanks Brun65i! Show Sample Output
0du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -hr -
0cut -f1 -d" " ~/.bash_history | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -n 30
